Columbia University with the support of the Pew Charitable Trusts, has established a training and research program for religious leaders, human rights activists, and scholars. A major goal of the Project is to promote interaction between religious communities and the international human rights movement, as well as to enhance concern for religious freedom and religious tolerance.

The Project will organize annual exchange and research programs at Columbia University for human rights advocates and religious figures. During the first three years, they will come from Eastern and Central Europe and the former Soviet Union. Each year, there will be nine funded fellows, appointed as visiting scholars at Columbia University. The program begins each September and continues for 4 to 7 months.

Welcomed as individual applicants are men and women active in human rights organizations and/or religious groups in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The program is conducted in English and fluency is required.
